The writers may strike to get paid what they're worth.
Or worse yet, the same damn show w/a new name: another hospital, legal drama w/another poorly behaved, moderately talented, entitled melanin-challenged man child at the center of the show being paid $350K per episode while u can barely get more than $1200 a day (after a decade in the business) for work that props up a less talented actor? So here's the skinny: If more actors started saying "no" to working for the same salary for 20 years or getting less & less each year, producers would find a way to pay more. Actors would strike & that would change, right? Uh, not anywhere on God's green earth is that happening & here's why: So much of our self esteem is wrapped up in somebody 'wanting' us that we're willing to accept less & less each year for the entirety of our careers. Current State of the Industry The commercial world is a dead end 4 actors who used to make a living doing that. The possibility of a primetime series regular is almost impossible because networks keep u recurring, but won't pay your quote. They now have a flat rate 4 a guest star. It matters not what u made on ur last job. They do this to keep the star satisfied & hire u to prop up his performance. privileged white men are still running the game, making more each year while u make less. BLM was not only about privilege, but also the death of this idea that there is equity in America. If u don't believe ur worth it & require compensation/treatment accordingly, u won't get it. There is no meritocracy. So, what's a girl to do: Figure out what your worth & set that as your agenda, Instead of running around begging for the same job, doing the same role for less year after year Now, how do we do that? It's not only possible, but my clients are working for salaries worthy of them |

t's called TheDreamingOutLoudEmotional Type Technique.
It's a game changer that concerns itself with what you want & not what the industry is willing to pay you. Because make no mistake, TV/Film IS corporate America where the ethos is pay as little as possible to get as much as possible.
Well, you're r not a bargain basement special. You didn't spend years training, hitting the boards around the country & jumping through hoops to please directors & CDs to not get paid what you're worth.
This technique is for you if you want to:
Before you can do any of that you have to get rid of
the limiting belief systems the industry teaches us.
Namely, the idea that we work for our manager and
agent instead of the other way around.
You are the captain of your ship and your career is floundering because you’re not leading.
Learning your four major life lessons is the first step. Within those lessons is the key to what you do well as an artist and human being. Your four major life lessons are the gifts your ancestors gave you to solve problems in this life that they never had the tools to master. Learning those four major life lessons are the key to learning how to sing your SoulsSong.
Once you understand your gifts and your purpose, you’re able to communicate your vision of your career and create a brand that you can then pitch to your agents and managers. If you’re clear and excited about the vision, it’s easy to get them onboard.
